Building a Resilient Society With Innovation and Entrepreneurship

Prof. Jerome Engel, senior fellow and founding executive director, Lester Center for Entrepreneurship and adjunct professor, emeritus, Haas School of Business discusses how to build a resilient society with tools like innovation and entrepreneurship.

Three questions posed address whether the rise of new technologies and innovations was truly triggered due to the pandemic, how have these solutions been made available at the time of need, and whether these particular ventures found opportunity in the advent of the pandemic. They also discuss the importance and meaning of innovation and entrepreneurship in depth, along with the role a university has to play in this situation.
